A Centre for Migration Control (CMC) report, using data from the UK Ministry of Justice, showed that Indian nationals had a 257% increase in sexual offence convictions in the UK from 2021 to 2024. This is the highest rise among foreign nationals. Overall, foreign convictions increased by 62%, sparking debate.

The CMC report, based on Police National Computer data, says Indian nationals’ sexual offence convictions rose from 28 in 2021 to 100 in 2024. The total number of convictions for foreign nationals increased from 687 to 1,114, a 62% rise. For British nationals, convictions went up 39.3%, from 4,409 to 6,142. Other groups with big rises include Nigerians (166%), Iraqis (160%), Sudanese (117%), and Afghans (115%).

Indian nationals ranked third in serious non-summary convictions, which rose 115%, from 273 in 2021 to 588 in 2024. Foreign nationals’ non-summary convictions increased 19.6%, from 17,417 to 20,826. This is more than the 5.9% rise for British nationals. The top groups for non-summary convictions include Romanians (3,271), Albanians (2,150), and Indians (588).

The report comes after a near doubling of Indian nationals in UK detention in 2024. Indians received 98,014 study visas, the second-highest total, and led in work and tourist visas. In August 2025, the UK added India to a list for the fast deportation of foreign offenders after sentencing. Since 2024, the government has deported 5,200 foreign offenders, a 14% increase.

The Ministry of Justice warns that the data relies on primary nationality, so it may count some people with dual nationality. Additionally, individuals charged more than once may appear multiple times in court. The data excludes cases where authorities did not record nationality. Although the exact numbers may vary, the increase in convictions remains clear.

The rise in convictions has led to calls for stricter immigration rules. The CMC supports a US-style “red list” for high-risk countries.
